Stewart & Stevenson 'Mean 16' Provides Patrol Boats With New Power And Cruising Range

Increased speed, durability and cruising range required for patrol boats is now possible with the "Mean 16" from Stewart & Steven- son. This 2,000-hp high-performance Dieseldrive® was adopted from the proven GM Detroit 16V- 149TIB basic engine.

The "Mean 16" has an advanced air induction system that enhances air flow for greater fuel economy.

This system, combined with high efficiency turbochargers, intercooling and improved unit fuel injectors has increased fuel efficiency by more than 12 percent over the already popular naturally aspirated 16V-149. Greater fuel economy means increased cruising range for patrol boats.

The quick response characteristics and tremendous acceleration capability of the Mean 16 make it possible to go from normal patrol speeds to flat-out pursuit in seconds.

The Mean 16 is one of the lightest- weight engines available today in the 2,000-hp class with a weightto- power ratio of approximately 6.95 lbs/hp. This new low silhouette diesel represents an outstanding combination of power, quick response, performance and fuel economy, all the features which are very desirable for highly maneuverable and versatile military patrol boats For more information on Stewart & Stevenson's "Mean 16," Circle 47 on Reader Service Card
